Recycling from Waste in Fashion and Textiles

Description

The alarming level of greenhouse gases in the environment, fast depleting natural resources, and the increasing level of industrial effluents have made every single manufacturing activity come under the scrutiny of sustainability. When all kinds of waste—such as clothes, furniture, carpets, televisions, shoes, paper, food wastes, etc.—end up in the landfill, only a few are naturally decomposed, leaving a large majority as non-biodegradable. It is for this reason that efforts are concentrated on reducing the burden on the earth by this waste. As far as used textile products are concerned, there are now attempts to recycle or upcycle. This book addresses the role of sustainability by using textile waste in fashion and textiles with respect to manufacturing, materials, and the economic and business challenges and opportunities it poses.

This wide-ranging book comprises 19 chapters on various topics including:

Solutions for sustainable fashion and textile industry
Agro and bio waste in the fashion industry
Innovating fashion brands by using textile waste
Waste in handloom textiles
Business paradigm shifting: 21st-century fashion from recycling and upcycling
Utilization of natural waste for sustainable textile coloration
Circular economy in fashion and textile from waste
Future pathways of waste utilization for fashion
Sustainable encapsulation of natural dyes from plant waste for textiles
Agro-waste applications for bioremediation of textile effluent

Recycling from Waste in Fashion and Textiles offers a comprehensive exploration of these pivotal topics, shedding light on the transformative potential of waste utilization in the industry.
